Re^5: false warning: print (...) interpreted as function

Interestingly, this particular warning goes away if the print command is terminated by a semicolon:

15:54 >perl -wle "print ((1))"
print (...) interpreted as function at -e line 1.
1

15:54 >perl -wle "print ((1));"
1

15:54 >

I get the same behaviour on my various Strawberry Perls, which range from 5.14.4 to 5.22.0.

Seems to be another (strange) heuristic employed by the warnings pragma.

Update: Changed wording of first paragraph (underlined words) to clarify that my comment applies only to cases like ikegami’s example, in which “the statement completed by the semicolon is a complete and unambiguously correct print statement” (BrowserUk, below). See also my earlier post: Re^3: false warning: print (...) interpreted as function.

Only if the statement completed by the semicolon is a complete and unambiguously correct print statement: `print ((1)), 1;; print (...) interpreted as function at 1` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
